===========ELISSA Captain's Log: 12 noon, Sunday, June 14th, 2026===========PORT ‘o CALL!Over the past week, readers of our daily postings from ELISSA’s voyage to the East Coast for the 250th celebrations have heard about the engine running, all the great food, and the hard-working crew. For the sake of all those things, getting some more fuel, provisions, and some well-deserved rest, we have stopped at Fort Pierce, Florida. Or as Ryan malapropped it yesterday, “Port Fierce”!Almost like thieves sneaking in under the cover of darkness, we began heading up the entrance channel at 4 am this morning, and were all secure in our berth just north of the South Bridge (a part of the Jimmy Buffett Memorial Hwy, I might add) by about 5 am.So, as dawn broke, more than a couple of people noticed that they suddenly had a square-rigger in Fort Pierce Harbor! ELISSA has, as always, turned some heads. People are trying to get as close as possible to see the ship, with amazed questions of “Where did THAT come from?”, “What ship is that?”, etc.This stop is providing some nice downtime for the crew, a chance for a few chores & the procurements I mentioned, and maybe most importantly, it seems our pause is giving the weather a chance to change in our favor. I don’t want to “jinx” anything, but it seems like in the days to come we just might glory in those ‘fair winds and following seas’ that we’ve heard so much about.It’s been really difficult typing this with my fingers crossed... Stay tuned!Regards, Captain Andrew Ellers===========POSITIONING===========ELISSA at 12 noon (CDT)Distance Traveled: 1076 nautical milesPosition: 27deg 27.46' N x 80deg 19.4' WCourse: n/aSpeed-Over-Ground: 0 kts (moored)Weather: Partly sunny, 10kt wind from the W, calm waters in harbor. ...
